Title: Amiga Pimped in Aimless OS Bashing Article.
Post by: System on May 21, 2002, 10:05:50 PM

I was just checking out some websites, and I happened to notice an article on the inquirer that mentioned Amiga. It doesn't actually say anything astounding or exciting. But some of you might get a kick out of it giving Amiga da props.

Amiga Pimped on the Inquirer (http://www.theinquirer.net/21050206.htm)

From the article:
The next major thing to happen was Windows. Oh, it had been around in various early versions, but it wasn't until Windows 3 that Microsoft finally turned out a useful product. It was a major step backwards in comparison to many other operating systems - it lacked the power of Unix and the media capabilities of the Amiga. But, to be fair, it was designed for business use on a single user basis and did the job.

:-D Hehe.

Yeah this is exactly what we needed, bring on peace and love in Amiga land once more, for soon we will have the awakening, when dogs and cats will start living together, and we can slag off other operating systems with impunity.

Remember Peace and Love in Amiga Land.

PEACE AND LOVE :-D

I send the guy a email! and guess what he wrote? ;) i asked him if he knew about OS4 and Aros and this was his reply.

"Hi oJ,

years ago I used to write for CU Amiga, so I've been keeping tabs on these two. Glad you enjoyed the article,

Arron

Cool, as long as he wasn't the one who wrote that Frontier Guide he's cool.

Its always nice to know there are still people out there who keep tabs on the Amiga without being involved in the constant flamewars and childish arguments.

Its a second best to being a devoted amigan i would guess.

I would check my back issues of CU Amiga, but I threw them all out  :-(

Perhaps there should be some nice calming music playing when you log into Amiga.org, along with one of those relaxation voice-overs...  :-D

Optimistic mode : ON

It make me think that there is A LOT of people (like me, hehe) that have or had a good connexion with Amiga. I think it will be a huge strength when time will come for Amiga to go in serious business (for OS4.x or OS5, i mean). All those people will say "Hey ! it's alive ! And well alive"   :-)

Etho:
Your comment is seconded. How about this for starters: formatting a floppy disk and doing _anything_ else!
